A Tri-State fire captain responding to a crash on an icy road has survived being struck by a vehicle and thrown 20 to 30 feet.

Dayton fire Capt. Barry Cron was speaking to a victim of a crash on U.S. 35 before daybreak Tuesday as snow fell. Moments later, another vehicle lost control on the roadway and struck the first truck, which slammed into Cron.
